I often catch myself staring at things
that catch my attention. This can he
a painting. a culinary masterpiece, features
of certain people, but most often in photos.
At first I thought this happens because of the joy it brings me. I am a very visual person.
Then I found myself wondering ,why though?
Why does this thing, or person, or image capture my attention?
As creatives, our job is to tell stories. In words, music, photos, or however we feel we can express ourselves.
Lets dig a little deeper though. Why? Why do we stop and look?
I believe the driving factor is simple. We are curious to our core.
Curiosity is baked into our D.N.A.
Being curious keeps us moving forward.
Progressing, inventing, mastering, but
more importantly, I would argue, learning!
I truly enjoy learning more about those things they have my interest. I never want to look back and wonder, what if?
What if I took more chances? What
if I slowed down more? Learned to be present? what if I use my camera's less
like tools, but more of an extention of
my curiosity? Maybe say NO more to things that don't pour back into my life and yes to things that scare me?
I never want to be less than I am designed to be. Why would we settle?
Do you?
